' - 15 <br />' probably be expected given the "uniqueness" of the endeavor. The new formu- <br />las should be given broad exposure within the Service so that if they are <br />adopted, they. will have widespread acceptance. <br />PART VIII . Reco:n~enda Li ons <br />a. Adopt the new formulas and stick with them. <br />b. Update the formulas in the spring of 1982, after the present <br />fishery studies in the Colorado River Basin are completed and <br />a new more detailed conservation plan is developed. Thereafter, <br />update the formulas every 2 years! <br />c. Updated formulas should consist of several items: <br />(1) New estimated total cost of conservation plan. This will <br />likely-rise through the years due to inflation. <br />(2) New estimated predevelopment flows for the Cisco and <br />Green River gages. These estimates should be made by <br />computer modeling, conducted by WRPS. Flow data from 1906 <br />to current water year should be adjusted and considered. <br />(3) New estimated•~present flows in the basin. These estimates <br />should be made by computer modeling, conducted by WRPS. <br />Flow data from 1906 to current water year should be adjusted <br />and considered. The "present" flow level will decrease as <br />more water development occurs in the basin. <br />(4) New estimated current depletion in the basin - part (2) <br />minus part (3). <br />d. More frequent updating of the formula will not be necessary due <br />
